    In December 2013, a diverse group of 14 experts from Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Europe worked together for five days to produce a user-friendly guide in English and in French on Mining Contracts: How to Read and Understand Them, to help policy makers, civil society, citizens, and the media understand the often complex and opaque terms of mining contracts. With increasing calls for contract transparency – and the growing recognition of the importance of the terms of contracts for resource-rich countries – this book explains in layman’s terms the principal features of a contract, compares different approaches to key issues, and supplies the context and background necessary for non-specialists to understand how contracts are negotiated and what they say. Senior CCSI Researchers Lise Johnson and Perrine Toledano were among the authors.https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/sustainable_investment_books/1006/thumbnail.jp
